Doris, I just did that.....from this HP Image Zone Plus, which was bundled with my computer when I got it, and what I got was this lovely little box with the red "x" where the photo was supposed to be.... I did just that with the last computer.... it used win98se (this one is XPHome)... and it worked pretty well, except that the picture was HUGE.... I could "skinny" it down, with those 8 little re-size boxes, but I don't know, of course, if that's the way it arrived.... or if it was back to HUGE!

Oh Nancy, I'm still using Win98SE, but I would assume things are pretty much the same in XP as far as saving/sending pictures. But................I really don't know anything about XP, so maybe someone who has one can help you. Sorry~!
